As of late 2025, Just Eat now belongs to Prosus.

They’re doing that because they want their own walled garden.

Shopping kart

Yes. The shopping kart feature. Something online stores and webshops came with when the Internet looked like MS Paint.

Somehow absent on a modern platform…

Fuck that. I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was “let’s see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult”.

Not that close, I found out.

Or at least, a very tame version of it.

I would’ve loved to see this game come out back then. The pearl clutching would’ve probably broken a few knuckles.

It’s a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it’s not deep on either front.

The combat and rogue elements don’t come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.

The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.

It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn’t take long for you to have “seen it all”.

Mind you, this doesn’t mean the game isn’t fun. But it’s very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.

Me; neither.

I’m incredibly sick and tired of videogames usually picking just two lanes:

• Super photoreal graphics, optimisation be damned, that’ll look dated in just a few years.
• Pixelated nostalgia tripping for people still stuck in the past.

Visual Capitalist says they make all their own graphics (so not just grabbed from the Web) from a “veriaty of tools from Adobe Creative Cloud”.

Adobe has been making a huge push for so-called “AI tools” in their Creative Cloud service.

This is me with SHMUPS. Oh, sure, I can find databases of the ones that were popular, but in the early to late 2000s there were so many PC SHMUPS with mouse controls that came on demo CDs or you could get from the front page of any demo shareware website…

Now all forgotten.

Some of them I used to play a lot and want to play again, but can’t for the life of me find back.

You don’t know a thing about Divinity or Larian if that’s your takeaway. XD

He looks to be wearing some sort of symbols that refer to Braccus Rex, a tyrant king. Maybe this is a whickerman situation where the locals celebrate the death of Braccus Rex with a live sacrifice dressed as one?

A kind of flower, can’t remember the name… Blood rose? But it’s a demonic type of flower that only grows in soil that has been tainted with extreme suffering. Might have something to do with the Void…?

Probably some sort of Void corruption, I would reckon. DOSII literally had people and creatures boiling, then exploding, into Void creatures.

Yes.

I only spent 99 DKK (Danish kroner) on a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World because a local company briefly fucked their pricing.

The system is certainly worth 99 DKK, that much I can say. Though… I find myself mostly still graviting to emulated MK8D.

I’ve gotten pretty much the entire Yakuza series through Humble Monthly. I’ve tried getting into it starting with Y0… Played a couple of hours… Then stopped…

I dunno… It just doesn’t really seem to grow on me.

To those that typically play space sims, I tend to describe your game as “X4, but medieval”.

Tattorack, 2 miesiące temu

That’s pretty darn cool, actually.

Kingdom Hearts. The writing is equally sappy and edgy fanfic crossover slop. But there’s something so satisfying about the combat, especially after the introduction of the command deck.

I don’t understand the word “purchasing” in the context of “Sony product”. What do you mean with that?

Simple. I’ll just download it. Back in my day you used to be able to download RAM too.

Look at their website. It pretty explicitly states you can do with the Gabe Cube whatever you want. Including changing the OS.

Depends on what kind of person you are. I know of individuals who practically live in VR.

Tattorack, 2 miesiące temu

I’ll probably use VR mostly to play sims. Elite Dangerous, X4, I also have a few racing sims.

But ultimately depends on the price. I’m not going to sell my organs for what is essentially a really cool immersive gimmick.

Likewise. I also passed around the message between my union guys; “don’t you dare buy GTA 6”.

Pretty sure Horizon Forbidden Dawn was well liked, despite having a woman speaking, but Horizon Forbidden West was hated on for changing the design of her.

Tattorack, 2 miesiące temu

They changed her design to fit some arbitrary anti-beauty standard. I don’t find the change egregious, but it’s obvious why it was done.

Tattorack, 2 miesiące temu

I don’t. I just recognise there’s a change and people didn’t like it. Nobody had issues with a woman being the main protagonist.

Mario Kart World.

Soundtrack is 11/10. But they dropped the ball hard on the entire open world aspect. Completely wasted the entire potential.

Instead we get lame ass intermission tracks that count as the first two laps of the next race, so you don’t even get to enjoy the new and remade tracks during championships, because you’ll blink and miss them.

It’s fine to do your own thing if it effects nobody else.

I already have Total War Warhammer III. Etrian Odyssey is not the kind of RPG I like. The Dino farming game seems very… Juvenile.

You know, out of all of these I might only have a use or be interested in, the crab Dark Souls game. Very weak month.

There is no open world that is too big. They can only be too small.

However, the quality of an open world is not predicated on the size of the open world, but rather what is actually in it.

And this doesn’t mean that open worlds must be drowning in content, as the quality of the content itself also matters, and certain worlds that are large and empty can still be interesting due to its traversal being good, or the sandbox nature of a large empty world.

Some of the worst examples of open worlds are the kind that are just filled with isolated little fetch quests; busywork that’s all marked on the map with no element of organic exploration. Or the kinds of open worlds where nothing actually happens “organically” without the player starting it.

The best kinds of open worlds are the ones that emphasise exploration and/or have background systems governing the world in some way (i.e. factions that interact with each other without the explicit involvement of the player).

I mean, Hideo Kojima tells stories that are a little convoluted and has layers of metaphor in them… Kinda like The Matrix, so he’d have been a perfect fit.

I wouldn’t put the LEGO games on that list. Traveller’s Tales just basically copy-pasted most games, to the point 3 were releasing within the same year.

It made them horribly bland.

Tattorack, 3 miesiące temu

Any LEGO game can be good if it’s your first LEGO game. None of them are badly made, with the exception of a few, but they’re all made the same way.

If you’ve played one…

I mean, it doesn’t anymore.

You can install Proton by other means. It doesn’t have to be through Steam. And by now, since Valve made so much of the groundwork already, the development of Proton can be done by the community, like so many other FOSS projects.

So we’re not dependent on Valve.

Not very smart are you?

What makes you think that the kind of people that sign this European action don’t also sign other actions?

What makes you think that the shit corpos get away with in the videogame industry will stay in the videogame industry? Have you not been paying attention to other areas of industry?

Tattorack, 3 miesiące temu

Then you’ve not been paying attention.

Tattorack, 3 miesiące temu

Maybe. If I could actually play it. But still no PC port.

Tattorack, 3 miesiące temu

No port for anything Mario related at all, so that comes with the territory.

But we have the N’Sane Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot 4 on PC… Why not also the kart racing game they made around the same time?
